  1. “Blue Plate Special” This power point has not been approved by our school’s cafeteria personnel.

  2. Fast Facts People of all ages should exercise daily. • The American Heart Association recommends this eating pattern for families: 1. “Energy (calories) should be adequate to support growth and development and to reach or maintain desirable body weight. 2. Eat foods low in saturated fat, Tran’s fat, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars. 3. Keep total fat intake between 30 to 35 percent of calories for children 2 to 3 years of age and between 25 to 35 percent of calories for children and adolescents 4 to 18 years of age, with most fats coming from sources of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, such as fish, nuts and vegetable oils. 4. Choose a variety of foods to get enough carbohydrates, protein and other nutrients (pg. 1).” www. American Heart Association .org

  3. What are Calories? • A calorie is a measure of energy, like a volt is a measure of electricity, a pound measures weight and a mile measures distance. Healthhowstuffworks.com http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-fat-grams

  4. School Menu Calories may be different with servings that students choose.

  5. How many calories do students eat in their school lunches?

  6. Recommended Calories for Teens How many calories do a teenager need in a day? • Boys need between 2,200 and 3,200 calories a day. • Girls need 1,800 and 2,400 calories a day. • An active boy may need 4,200 more calories than a teenage girl. Being active is what makes a boy need more calories. • For more information, go to KidsHealth.org.

  7. We Recommend a New Menu • The American Heart Association states , “ dietary recommendations for teens ages 14 to 18: teen girls should eat 1 1/2 cups of fruit, 2 1/2 cups of vegetables, 5 oz. of lean protein and 6 oz. of grains daily, while teen boys should have 2 cups of fruit, 3 cups of vegetables, 6 oz. of lean protein and 7 oz. of grains daily. Both teen boys and girls should have 3 cups of dairy daily. To meet increased energy needs, an active teenager should eat more foods from breads, cereals, vegetables and fruits ( pg. 1 ).”
